Doh, you're not dense, it's me. I've just checked and the FreeBSD
``man intro'' doesn't do it. I remember this man page from when I
started using Unix (Sun's) and just quoted it.

FWIW, the Sun version does this...


INTRO(1)                 USER COMMANDS                   INTRO(1)

LIST OF COMMANDS
     Name                Appears on Page       Description

     comb                sccs-comb(1)           combine SCCS deltas
     comm                comm(1)                display lines in
common between two sorted lists
     compress            compress(1)            compress or expand
files, display expanded contents
     continue            csh(1)                 C shell built-in
commands, see csh(1)
     cp                  cp(1)                  copy files
     cpio                cpio(1)                copy file archives in
and out
     cpp                 cpp(1)                 the C language
preprocessor
     crontab             crontab(1)             install, edit, remove
or list a user's crontab file
     crtplot             plot(1G)               graphics filters for
various plotters
     crypt               crypt(1)               encode or decode a
file
 

etc., etc.
